McKinnon Shield Meeting #6 and Sir John Walker Junior Mile, Mt Smart Stadium – 15 January 2022
Zane Powell made it two years in a row in the annual Sir John Walker junior mile running a personal best 4:09.87. James Ford set the pace for the elite field with the aim of breaking Richard Potts’ 1990 race record of 4:05.01.

He covered the first lap well clear in 61 seconds. Will Taylor, Karson Vesty were next through with James Harding and Powell further back. At the three quarter passed in 3:14, Harding led Christian de Vaal and Powell.

Into the finishing straight Powell dug deep alongside Harding and carried on for the victory. Vesty pipped Harding for second in 4:10.46 PB, to Harding’s 4:10.71 PB. de Vaal was fourth in 4:16.51 PB.

Powell, who was third in 2020 in his previous best time of 4:16.50, was pleased with the result given the hot conditions.

“I’m happy to see the New Year’s training is paying off, so hopefully I’ll get another good race in next week at the Potts Classic and the week after at Whanganui.

“James was the dedicated pacer and I tried to go with him and I got boxed in at the start, so I had to settle in and work my way up,” said Powell.

Laura Nagel won the women’s mile in 4:49.40 from Alannah Van Hout 4:56.70 PB and Isabella Richardson 4:59.47 PB. Tomas Barry won the open mile in 4:24.22 PB, from Toby Tasker 4:26.32 PB and Lakshay Bawa 4:31.57 PB.

Obituary

Cross Country running legend Barry Everitt of Waikanae died on Monday 10 January 2022 aged 84.

Everitt competed for New Zealand in the International Cross Country Championships in 1965 in Ostend Belgium finishing 40th, in Barry Wales in 1967 finishing 25th and in Glasgow Scotland in 1969 finishing 37th.

A stalwart of the Wellington Harrier Athletic Club for over 40 years, Everitt was enticed to going and running at the harrier club as a youngster with the incentive of free cake and cordial at the end of the run. He enjoyed the running and a further incentive to continue was that he started to win races. At Wellington Technical College he was breaking cross country records by a minute and a half.

He was second in the 1963 New Zealand three mile championship, and third in 1964. He was second in the 1966 New Zealand six mile championship. At the 1966 New Zealand cross country championship he was second.

He never missed a club or centre cross country or road race over his long career. He was a key member of the Club’s numerous road relay victories during the 1960’s and 1970’s including the Wellington to Masterton, Around the ranges Palmerston North, Motueka to Nelson and Marton to Whanganui relays.

He later competed in masters athletics winning the M45 5,000m and 10,000m titles in 1984.

He was President and made a life member in 1979, of the WHAC club and the Everitt Plate in his honour is presented each year to the top club at the Vosseler Shield cross country at Mt Victoria.
